Its not syntactically correct, if/then else can only have one command between then and else, and no ;. To do block of code between then and else you use do; and end;, per:
data work.xx1; set work.xx; where intra_ind='N'; if msg_id='NO MSG' then do; relationship_id=globl_cust_id; relationship_name=cus_name; end; else do; ... end; run;
You need a slightly different syntax with multiple "then" results:
if MSG_ID = 'NO MSG' then do;
RELATIONSHIP_ID = GLOBL_CUST_ID ;
RELATIONSHIP_NAME = CUS_NAME;
end;
else ...
